My Story

Hi, I’m Carolyn Quan, a freelance textile designer and mentor. With years of experience as a commercial artist and art director, I offer personalised 1:1 coaching sessions designed to help you succeed as a freelancer.

 

But… Why listen to my advice?

 

Believe it or not, I’ve been through it all.

 

Hundreds of email pitches with no reply, stagnant print sales, headache-inducing clients and late invoice payments. It was enough to make me quit.

 

But didn’t. I pushed through. And I want to share what I’ve learnt with you so you don’t make the same mistakes I did in the beginning stages of my career!

 

Now, my artwork gets seen by the right people. My prints are now selling to companies who love my handwriting. My clients are genuinely delighted to work with me and happily pay on time. And new leads come to me organically without me having to chase them.

 

Here’s the catch. It took me years to get here. And it will take some form of commitment from you. I do not offer quick get-rich schemes.

 

But I’m here to offer practical advice and guidance on effective strategies that will push you in the right direction, enabling you to thrive in the competitive design industry.

What You'll Gain:

During our session, I finally learned how to make my pattern repetition less obvious. That was something I could never figure out myself and made my artwork lacking of a proficient quality. This discovery unlocked a new way of looking at my previous artworks and ideas about fixing them and creating the next ones from scratch.

I would recommend your coaching sessions because it's possible to discuss many aspects of being a textile designer, from the most technical topics to marketing for freelancers.

How It Works:

My 60-minute 1:1 Coaching Calls can be purchased individually at a time that suits you.

 

Here is what a typical call would look like:

Of course, everyone is at a different stage of their surface pattern design journey, so each call will be personalised and tailored to your unique situation.
